More than 50% of all flood fatalities are vehicle-related. You never know how deep the water is or if the road has been washed away or compromised beneath the water. Don’t risk driving into floodwaters. Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

Could first responders find your home quickly during an emergency?

Walk to the street and look back at your house. Are your address numbers easy to see? Can they be read from both directions? Are they visible at night, or are they blocked by trees, decorations or parked vehicles?

Make sure your address numbers are large, clearly displayed and easy to distinguish from the background.

During an emergency, every second matters. A visible address can help firefighters and paramedics locate you without unnecessary delays.

Take the address-visibility challenge today.

During hurricane season, scammers often try to take advantage of survivors as they begin recovery. Learn how to recognize the signs of a scam:

- A real FEMA inspector will always show their official credentials.
- They will never ask for your nine-digit registration number, bank account information, or credit card information.
- FEMA never charges fees for inspections. Don't trust those who ask for money or make promises about getting an application approved.

Don’t let suspicious activity slide. Stop. Verify. Report it.

"Preparedness tip: Stock foods your family will actually eat. Because nobody wants to discover during an emergency that their "emergency food" is something nobody in the house likes."

☝️ this

Now excuse us, off to make some cheese toast.

National Cheese Toast Day? At EMA? Absolutely. We found the preparedness connection. 🧀🍞

Emergencies don't always happen when it's convenient. And when the power is out, the grocery store is closed, or you're sheltering at home, having food and water on hand can make a stressful situation a little easier.

So today, while you're enjoying your cheese toast, take a minute to check your emergency food supply.

Preparedness tip: Stock foods your family will actually eat. Because nobody wants to discover during an emergency that their "emergency food" is something nobody in the house likes.

Cheese toast may not belong in every emergency kit… but a little preparedness definitely belongs in every household.
